When you have an instinct to act (like making a decision, speaking up, starting something hard), you must move within 5 seconds or your brain will start to kill it with doubts, fear, or excuses.
If you don’t act in those first few seconds, your brain’s “protection mode” kicks in and tries to keep you in comfort.
Action breaks hesitation. Hesitation feeds fear.
So in simple terms:
👉 Feel the decision → Act within 5 seconds → Win.
Even just a small step (like standing up, making the call, saying the first word) can snap you into “action mode” instead of “thinking and freezing mode.”
